Dropshipping is a business model where a seller doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a seller sells a product using the dropshipping model, it purchases the item from a dropship supplier and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the seller doesn’t have to handle the product directly. Thus, It gives a lot flexibility to the seller since they can partner with dropship suppliers and sell more products to their customers without keeping stock. Besides, dropship suppliers also get more flexibility since there is more product movement.
In a nutshell, the process of dropshipping is simple:
- You receive an order
- You forward the order to your dropship supplier
- Your dropship supplier fulfils the order
